“If I was born in the 1920's I would have fallen in love with this man and that is not even a question. Lenny Bruce was the bad boy of comedy. He smoked, cursed, and drank. This book shows all of this perfectly. From how he met his wife, him getting arrested for libel, and how he influenced all of American comedy and entertainment law.

“I’m not very shy about Bojack Horseman being my favorite TV show. So when I found out the show runner had a book, I had to get it. It did not disappoint!

This story meanders in the best way, roping in too many characters to count and disposing of them as needed. It is often disturbing, occasionally provokes a laugh, and tends...”

“Written and read by two medical doctors, one of whom is also a doctor of economics, Random Acts of Medicine is a vast exploration of how biases, random events, and chance impact medical outcomes. Could a large marathon race impact area residents experiencing heart attacks? Do vaccination rates in children depend on where their birthdays fall in the year? Why might a planned vaginal birth switch to C-section, despite no change in the patient? There are dozens and dozens of interesting natural...”
